Hole Spikes A Deuce to Double Up
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jon Kyte raised to 25,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to Andreas Hole in the cutoff, he three-bet all in for his stack of 59,000. It folded back to Kyte who flipped in a chip to make the call.
Andreas Hole: A♠K♠2♥2♦ 
Jon Kyte: A♣K♥7♣4♦
Hole was in front with his deuces, and stayed in front after the 3♥J♣J♦ flop, but the K♦ on the turn made a chop look likely, with both players holding ace-king. However, the river brought the 2♠ and Hole improved to a full house, deuces-full of jacks to secure the double up.
